Kyle has been making himself busy with projects at home. This one has been an open hole in the wall for awhile but look how beautiful it is! He is pretty amazing.
Lyla got to experience her first official birthday party! (For cousin Abby) There was a pinata, pizza, treats, games, dress up. Everything a little girly could want.
Since we were up that way we stopped by to see friends. These babes are just a couple weeks apart.
Oh no, already holding hands...
One thing I am just so grateful for in my life is the blessing of good friends. No matter how long it has been the good ones are there. I met Chaleese in Jr High. I was home schooled before that and so you can imagine what I was like. Hiding in a bathroom stall during lunch because I was too afraid of everyone and had no friends yet was and everyday thing. Luckily I didn't last the first year before I was rescued by some angels. Around that time I met Chaleese whose older sis was my brother's good friend. She has kept track of me through the years of our moving to China, around the U.S., and everywhere in between. What a friend.
For Christmas Jayce and Halli got Damon and Jonas perler beads. They have been making things around the clock. And their love for Mario could not be overlooked.
Damon has been working on losing his from teeth for a few months, and the day has come! I love these picture so much because he is so happy, and you can really see how green his eyes are. So much like his dad.
More perler bead creations.
And it's out. Isn't he handsome?!
My sweet little one gets a nap in even if mom is too busy to lay him down. This four kid thing is crazier than it looks, and that is saying something!
And of course we all love Levi so much that every once in a while we have to squeeze, strangle, and wrap our legs around him to give him a hug big enough that he knows we really mean it.
